En mi pueblo han organizado actos y demšs con música al aire libre y barras para el tema del #eclpse2026 porque en junio alguien pasó por el puente romano junto al río y pensó que era buena idea hacer algo allí (el sitio la verdad que es muy top), y cuando han ido hoy para ultimar detalles se han dado cuenta que las 19:48h se ponía ya el sol por detršs del monte, y ahora andan como pollos sin cabeza…

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz doubled down Monday on pushing through unpopular reforms to Europe’s largest economy
after a far-right party surged to a landslide victory in a regional election, with a very good chance of forming the first far-right state government since the Nazi era.
Merz said his center-right Christian Democratic Union was “deeply shocked”
